Driving while talking on the phone increases the likelihood of an accident and is actually more dangerous than driving drunk, U.S. researchers report. This holds true whether the driver is holding a cell phone or using a hands⁃free device.

“As a society, we have agreed on not tolerating the risk associated with drunk driving,”said researcher Frank Drews, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Utah.“This study shows us that somebody who is conversing on a cell phone is exposing him or herself and others to a similar risk — cell phones actually are a higher risk,”he said.

In the study, 40 people followed a pace car along a prescribed course, using a driving simulator （模拟仪）. Some people drove while talking on a cell phone, others drove while drunk（meaning their blood-alcohol limit matched the legal limit of 0.08 percent）, and others drove with no such distractions. The researchers found an increased accident rate when people were conversing on the cell phone. Drivers on cell phones were 5.36 times more likely to get in an accident.

The bottom line: Cell⁃phone use was linked to“a significant increase in the accident rate,” Drews said.

The phone users did even worse than the inebriated, the Utah team found. There were three accidents among those talking on cell phones — all of them involving a rear⁃ending（追尾） of the pace car. In contrast, there were no accidents recorded among participants who were drunk.

In response to safety concerns, some states have declared it illegal to use hand ⁃ held cell phones while driving. But that type of law may not be effective, because the Utah researchers found no difference in driver performance whether the driver was holding the phone or talking on a hands⁃free model.

“We have seen again and again that there is no difference between hands⁃free and hand⁃held devices,”Drews said.“The problem is the conversation. The best solution to the problem is obvious: Don’t talk on the phone while you are driving. ”

1.Which group of drivers performed worst in the study?

A.Those phone users.

B.Those who are drunk.

C.Those following a pace car.

D.Those with hearing problems.

2.What does the underlined phrase“the inebriated”in paragraph 5 refer to?

A.The drunk drivers.

B.The researchers.

C.The cell⁃phone⁃free drivers.

D.The Utah team.

3.What can be concluded from the last two paragraphs?

A.Driver performance has nothing to do with the use of mobile phones.

B.It is timely to ban the use of hand⁃held phones while driving.

C.The Utah researchers find the traffic safety law works as well as before.

D.Talking on the phone while driving should be avoided.

4.In which section of a newspaper is this text from?

A.Sports.

B.Economy.

C.Society.

D.Entertainment.

Trapped on the 37th Floor

Melinda Skaar wasn’t expecting any phone calls．Skaar was working late in her office at the First Interstate bank of California．By 10:45 that night she was almost ready to go home when the phone rang．

Picking it up，she heard a guard shouting．“There is a fire！ Get out of there！”

Skaar didn’t panic．She figured that it was just a small fire．Her office building was huge．There were 62 floors and her desk was on the 37th floor．

Skaar called out to office mate Stephen Oksas，who also stayed late to work．But when they got to the hallway，they were met by a cloud of black smoke．Rushing back，Skaar shut the door and filled the space at the bottom of the door with her jacket to keep the smoke out．

Then they called 911．Before they could call their families，however，the line went dead．That meant that they were completely cut off from the outside world．All they could do was wait and hope someone would come to rescue them．

Minutes ticked by．Smoke began to float into the office．Soon it became hard for them to breathe．

Looking around，Skaar noticed a small workroom．It seemed to have cleaner air．So they crowded there．That helped for a while，but in time even the workroom was filled with deadly smoke．

Hopeless，they tried to break the windows，but the glass was not breakable．Everything they threw at just bounced back．

Defeated，they struggled back to the workroom．They felt weak and dizzy ．Soon Skaar found Oksas had passed out．

As Skaar and Oksas lay near death，rescuers were rushing to find them．At last，at about 4 a．m．，firefighters found them．

Skaar and Oksas knew they were lucky to be alive．“Sunday is my birthday，” Skaar told a reporter．She would be turning 29．But she knew she had already got the best present possible——the gift of life．

1.What did Skaar and Oksas do when they were stopped by the fire？

A．They called their families．

B．They waited where they were．

C．They tried to run down the stairs．

D．They rushed back and shut the door．

2.The first sentence of the passage is to ____________．

A．introduce Skaar

B．get the reader’s attention

C．explain the cause of the event

D．tell the background information

3.The following helped Skaar and Oksas survive the fire except _____________．

A．calling 911 for help

B．breaking the windows to get some fresh air

C．crowding in a small workroom for clean air

D．shutting the door and keeping the smoke out with a jacket

4.What can we conclude from Skaar’s action in the fire？

A．She is cleverer than Oksas．

B．She was trained as a firefighter．

C．She remained calm in the face of danger．

D．She had had the experience of being caught in fire．
